We're complaining because they're creating an "Ultimate" style universe instead of giving us the perfectly good ARAH. They're fixing something that wasn't broken. Etc, etc.

I hate when they change characters in a movie for no reason at all, but casting Duncan as Kingpin didn't make me mad. I couldn't think of any other large, imposing actor who wasn't either fat and/or creepy looking. |

For those people who are pissed off that changed Wallace Weems' race: Would it have been easier for people to accept if the movie character's name was Static Line?

You guys can complain all you want about Ripcord, my problem is with the females. Scarlett & Cover Girl are just "off". Not really ugly but not really pretty either. I don't like them! The chick that plays Cover Girl is a model? I don't like her face at all. And the Cover Girl figure looks like a shemale!
Baroness is my favorite but Sienna Miller is all wrong for the character. And what's with the Canadian BS? No foreign accent? That just doesn't work! I don't wanna see the movie because of this. I finally get a live action GI Joe movie & can see the Baroness for real with her sexy voice that drives me crazy & they give me a Canadian chick that doesn't even have an accent? Eh? A Wayans brother isn't any more mis-cast than any of the females. IMO |

I'm not hating on Marlon Wayons, he has def made me laugh before. I did'nt even see anything to make me think the Ripcord charecter is going to provide comic relief so I'm not even upset about that. I just have no f'ing idea why they would go out of their way to cast a black guy for a charecter that has been white for 20+ years.
It's just stupid. He could have been a number of African American charecters . I know we're only supposed to be talking about Ripcord here but the whole cast looks stupid. Even Duke...that is retarded. I always pictured Duke a fit guy in his late 30's, early 40's...leading the Joe team in the field. Not some kid who looks like he may have just gotten his 1st tribal arm band and new ground effects for his Honda Civic. So lets look at the big picture here and its all relevant. If you go casting Ripcord as a black comedian, its only natrual to cast Duke as a someone who didnt make the cut for Fast and Furious, if you cast Duke like that then it makes sense for Storm Shadow to dress like a doorman in a 5 star hotel and carry a gun and since Storm Shadow looks like a tool box and so on....the final result being a crappy movie. The comics are still solid and back issue's never lose their luster, until they do G.I. Joe right....everything RoC can kiss my 25th anniversary a$$. |

But what about the movie's spirit? Should fans expect to see a live-action version of the cartoon, an update on the Marvel comics, or something else entirely? According to Goldner, Sommers and crew want to take filmgoers back a couple of decades: "Steve Sommers is very different. But he's perfect, because if you think about his movies like 'The Mummy,' it's the perfect action/adventure movie. If you think about what we're trying to do for G.I. Joe, really bringing back that '80s G.I. Joe from the Marvel comics -- those first 155 issues are really our focus. If you think about that, you'll understand what we're trying to get at with all those characters and all the intricate relationships. I don't think you'd see this movie as wacky. I think you're going to see this movie as being inspirational for younger kids and totally in the sweet spot for the guys who grew up on G.I. Joe." Also, I been to atleast 5 stores that are selling the movie figs. Spent atleast 15 minutes at each and only saw adults buy them.The kids just passed by them.The movie's also rated PG-13 so it's not aimed only at kids |
